Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation
Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation is a 1986 animated musical fantasy film co-produced by LBS Communications and Nelvana Limited, and released by Columbia Pictures. It is the third animated feature from Nelvana and the second film based on the Care Bears franchise. It was directed by Dale Schott, written by Peter Sauder, and produced by Nelvana's three founders; Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert, and Clive A. Smith. It stars the voices of Alyson Court, Cree Summer, Maxine Miller and Hadley Kay. In the story, The Great Wishing Star (voiced by Chris Wiggins) tells the origins of the Care Bears and the story of their first Caring Mission. True Heart Bear and Noble Heart Horse lead the other Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins in aiding Christy, a young camper who is tempted by the evil shape-shifting Dark Heart. This is also the first appearance of the Care Bear Cubs, who also had their own line of toys.
A New Generation was made over a seven-month period at Nelvana's Toronto facilities, with additional work handled by Taiwan's Wang Film Productions, and involved several crew members who had worked on the original Care Bears Movie. Patricia Cullen served as composer, and Los Angeles musicians Dean and Carol Parks worked on the film's six songs.
Upon its release in March 21, 1986, A New Generation gained negative attention for its unnecessary merchandising tie-ins, poor animation quality, and frightening themes for a children's movie. Some of its key elements received comparisons to the German legend Faust and J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan. The film grossed only $8.5 million in North America, about a third of what the previous installment earned, and over $12 million worldwide. It was released on video in August 21, 1986, and the final home media release to date was a DVD issued in April 2003. The film was followed by The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland in 1987.
On the ocean, a yellow bear and a purple horse, who live in a giant ship, look after a pack of baby animals known as the Care Bear Cubs and Care Bear Cousin Cubs. During their journey, a red sea serpent threatens them; it is revealed to be one of the many forms of Dark Heart, an evil shape-shifting spirit that brings chaos to the land. They escape by following a rainbow up to the sky, while the boat transforms into the Cloud Clipper. In the sky, they meet the Great Wishing Star, who gives the group their iconic "symbols", which indicate each creature's role or specialty, and are attached to their chests. True Heart Bear and Noble Heart Horse, as the characters come to be known, become founders of the Kingdom of Caring, a land which comprises Care-a-Lot and the Forest of Feelings.
For the Bears' first Caring Mission, True Heart and one of the cousins, Swift Heart Rabbit, travel to Earth at a summer camp, where they meet three of its participants: a kind and determined young girl named Christy and her best friends, twins John and Dawn. Christy and the twins are concerned because a boastful boy nicknamed the "Camp Champ" always emerges victorious in showdowns. They decide to confront him, only for him to assign them to trash duty. A distraught Christy resolves to run away with her friends, only to get lost in the nearby forest. True Heart soon finds and rescues John and Dawn and brings them to the Kingdom of Caring. Upon arriving, the children hear a bell toll from the Caring Meter, which tells the Bears how much caring is taking place on Earth. Noble Heart and True Heart tell them to babysit the Cubs before leaving to search for Dark Heart and Christy.
Meanwhile, in the forest, Christy meets Dark Heart, disguised as a human teenage boy, and asks him to make her the new Camp Champ. He grants her wish, but warns she must pay him back later and walks away as she finally encounters her friends. Aware of Dark Heart's potential, True Heart and Noble Heart take action by moving the Bear Cubs to Care-a-Lot, and the Cousin Cubs to the Forest of Feelings. Both sets quickly grow up to become the Care Bear Family.
Later, while the Bears and cousins decide to celebrate the Kingdom of Caring's anniversary and prepare a party for the Kingdom's founders, Dark Heart sneaks into Care-a-Lot disguised as a repairman to capture the Family. A cluster of Star Buddies, an army of stars which defend the kingdom under the command of the Great Wishing Star, drive him off; he then morphs into a red cloud of mist. The Bears shoot light at him from their bellies, forming the "Care Bear Stare"; the Cousins also help by using their "Care Cousin Call". After Dark Heart is fended off, True Heart and Noble Heart decide to search for and defeat him, leaving the Bears to handle missions by themselves.
During their patrol, the Bears and Cousins spot Christy stranded in a canoe within a lake, but before they can rescue her, Dark Heart appears as an aura of mist and attacks them. The family decides to retaliate, only to be captured and trapped in his magic bag, which was the favor he wanted Christy to do all along. The few Family members at hand determine that she has teamed up with him. This prompts Tenderheart Bear to hold a press wheel in the Hall of Hearts. John and Dawn join the conference after Friend Bear and Secret Bear save them from a moose that was under Dark Heart's influence and listen to Tenderheart Bear discuss his plans to successfully put down Dark Heart.
